Natalie Mordovtseva and Josh Weinstein’s up-and-down relationship has been playing out for three seasons on 90 Day: The Single Life, but they may have been pulling a fast one on us all along.
Following her split from Mike Youngquist, Natalie left Washington and relocated to Florida in search of love.
After a few failed dates, Natalie fell head over heels for Josh Weinstein, an L.A.-based CEO and founder of a modeling agency.
Natalie and Josh didn’t have any issues in the bedroom, but elsewhere in their relationship, they fell flat.
The duo has been arguing, breaking up, and making up for years, but according to a 90 Day Fiance insider, their on-air love story is all playacting.
On Reddit, u/fairyfeetx3 claims that they recently saw Josh on a flight, and he was with his real girlfriend, Calie Tagle.

Mike Youngquist has moved on from his ex, Natalie Mordovtseva, and is ready to get married again and start a family.
During Part 5 of the 90 Day: The Single Life Season 4 Tell All, Mike made a surprise appearance during one of Natalie’s segments.
Not only did Mike serve Natalie with divorce papers – or rather, he had Debbie Johnson, Aka Mama Debbie, do it for him – but he also confirmed that he’s in a new relationship.
Although Natalie and Mike were still legally married during the Tell All, each of them had been dating other people.
Natalie gave love a try with Josh Weinstein, and Mike revealed that there was a new woman in his life.

Natalie Mordovtseva may be struggling to earn a living, but somehow, she can afford to undergo IVF.
This season on 90 Day: The Single Life, we’ve watched Natalie navigate her relationship with Josh Weinstein.
The pair began dating long-distance before Natalie decided to pack up her life in Florida and move to California to be closer to Josh.
But being closer to Josh didn’t mean Natalie was happier, and last week, we watched as she broke it off with him after questioning how devoted he was to her.
Before their breakup, however, Josh was helping Natalie financially, putting her and her mom, Nelia, up in an apartment and getting Natalie a job interview.
But without a job, Natalie was struggling to afford to live in L.A. Now that Josh is out of the picture, 90 Day: The Single Life viewers are questioning how she’s surviving financially — especially...

It’s officially over for Natalie Mordovtseva and Josh Weinstein, and 90 Day: The Single Life viewers are rehashing their relationship.
This week, we watched Natalie end her relationship with Josh in an uncomfortable-to-watch scene.
Natalie met Josh for lunch, but her greeting was anything but cordial as she dodged his attempt to give her a hug.
Natalie was very cold to Josh and called him “weak” before telling him she didn’t want to waste her time on a guy who “doesn’t fight for me, who doesn’t care about me.”
TLC shared a clip of the exchange on its Instagram feed with a caption asking viewers, “Is this the most awkward hug in #90DayFiance history?”
After watching the episode and rewatching the scene on Instagram, 90 Day: The Single Life viewers pondered why Josh would ever entertain dating someone like Natalie, given her explosive nature and unexpected mood swings.

Natalie Mordovtseva’s quest for love has been charted on 90 Day Fiance for several years now, and there has been another bump in the road in her search for happiness.
Monday’s new episode of 90 Day: The Single Life found Natalie questioning Josh Weinstein’s lack of commitment to her.
Ultimately, the 38-year-old realized the relationship was no longer working for her, and it all came to a head on the latest episode of the TLC hit.
Natalie had seemingly come to terms with her decision before the words escaped her mouth, revealing that she thought their relationship would be in a different place after moving from Florida to Los Angeles to be with him.
One of Natalie’s most significant sticking points is that they’ve been an item for two years, and she was never once invited to his home and never got to meet his children.

Bill Bryson bestseller A Short History of Nearly Everything is being reimagined as an animated TV series by former The Simpsons showrunner Josh Weinstein and Paddington scribe Jason Hazeley, with Richard Ayoade narrating.

In the 1993 "The Simpsons" episode "Marge vs. the Monorail," the corrupt nuclear power plant owner Mr. Burns (Harry Shearer) is busted by the Epa for stuffing glowing toxic waste into trees at the local park (the trees sprout tentacles and the squirrels gain eyeball lasers). As punishment, Mr. Burns is fined $3 million, which he happens to have in his wallet. Springfield, suddenly flush with cash, has a town meeting debating what to spend it on. Marge Simpson (Julie Kavner) proposes that they use the money to fix up pothole-strewn Main Street, but a mysterious flim-flam man named Lyle Lanley (Phil Hartman) interrupts her. Using a broad smile and heaps of smarmy charm -- and a "Music Man"-style musical number -- Lanley convinces Springfield to spend the money on a monorail that he will build himself.

Natalie Mordovtseva is eager to find a job in the U.S., but she isn’t exactly prepared.
This season on 90 Day: The Single Life, Natalie’s up-and-down romance with Josh Weinstein continues to play out.
Since Natalie moved to L.A., Josh has been helping her get on her feet. He found her an apartment, gave her money, and set up a job interview for her now that she can work in the U.S.
In next week’s episode of 90 Day: The Single Life, Natalie snags an interview with Josh’s cousin, Adam, who runs a chiropractic office.

This article contains spoilers for Futurama season 11 episode 6.
The Matt Groening-verse just got a little bigger. The latest episode of Futurama, “I Know What You Did Next Xmas,” finally confirms that The Simpsons, Futurama, and Disenchantment are connected by more than just writers and producers. But the timeline’s probably not what – or should we say when – you’re thinking.
Disenchantment is Matt Groening and Josh Weinstein’s medieval fantasy-skewing follow-up to Futurama and The Simpsons. Originally sold as an episodic comedy similar to those shows, Disenchantment is actually a coming-of-age adventure series, following Princess Bean (Abbi Jacobson) as she reckons with her future place in the kingdom of Dreamland, and her complicated past. Something that the trailer for the recently announced fifth and final season is much less coy about than previously.
Despite the vaguely Middle Age trappings, the show’s timeframe has always been somewhat nebulous, leading...

Showtime has announced the release date of their upcoming limited series “Fellow Travelers,” starring Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey. The eight-episode drama will premiere on Oct. 27.
Created by Academy Award nominee Ron Nyswaner and based on Thomas Mallon’s novel of the same name, “Fellow Travelers” is both a romance and a political thriller, depicting the secret relationship between two men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. Bomer plays Hawkins Fuller, a man with a lucrative behind-the-scenes job in politics, and Bailey plays an idealistic, religious young man. Their romance begins at the same time that Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn declare war on “subversives and sexual deviants.” The show tracks the protagonists over four decades, through the Vietnam War protests, the drugs and disco of the 1970s, and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.
“Fellow Travelers” also stars Jelani Alladin, Allison Williams and Noah J. Ricketts. Daniel Minahan serves...

"Futurama" is an animated comedy, yes, but it's also a show that takes its science very seriously. As nonsensical and absurd as some storylines can be, the writers' room on the series also boasted actual scientists to make sure things made theoretical sense. They were so good, "Futurama" often predicted the future. During the "Futurama Live!" post-show with Nerdist following the series' original finale, the creative team was asked if the science ever got in the way of a storyline. As it turns out, it did.
"I was working on a story with one of our writers, Josh Weinstein [...] We were working on this very complicated story where this character showed up who was living backward in time and talking backward and moving backward, and we worked on it for like three days and it was the coolest science fiction story, but there was nothing funny about it whatsoever," said showrunner David X. Cohen.

It’s Naked and Afraid, Robinson Crusoe-style.

The ‘90s were the decade of The Simpsons, sorry Seinfeld. The family was introduced in 1987 through a series of short clips in between skits on Fox’s The Tracey Ullman Show, overstayed their welcome and were spun off. The series debuted on Dec. 17, 1989 with a holiday special, “Simpsons Roasting on An Open Fire,” before hopping on the rotisserie of regular rotation on Jan. 14, 1990 with “Bart the Genius,” directed by David Silverman, and written by Jon Vitti.
The half-hour animated series was created by Matt Groening, who came up with it as a last-second pitch to foil his own plan to animate his comic strip Life in Hell. The Simpsons was produced by TV legend James L. Brooks, who drove The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Taxi, and Sam Simon, who wrote for Taxi and Cheers.
The voice talent continued over from the shorts. Dan Castellaneta performed the voices of Homer Simpson,...

A tech-savvy fan of The Simpsons has used digital processing to unearth a joke that has gone unheard for 33 years.
The joke in question comes in the classic season three episode “The Otto Show”, but had previously been inaudable.
In the episode, Marge is seen warning Bart over the volume of a rock concert he is attending, remarking: “I hope the Spinal Taps don’t play too loud.”
Homer then responds: “Oh Marge, I went to thousands of heavy metal concerts, and it never hurt me.”
The next shot shows Marge replying from Homer’s perspective, in which her voice is entirely drowned out by the sound of tinitus.
On the DVD commentary for the episode, the show’s creators had remarked that Marge was in fact saying some “pretty funny” dialogue, which “took a long time to write” but was then “mixed down so nobody could hear it”.

If you’re just starting The Simpsons now, you have 742 episodes to get through. Make that 743 as of tonight. Fortunately, they’re all available on Disney+, or airing randomly on weeknights in syndication. Let’s say you have seen all 700+ episodes and you’re looking for something else to watch. Here are six other animated shows that might scratch that itch if you liked The Simpsons.
Bart and Homer Simpson | 20th Television ‘Futurama’ is great if you like ‘The Simpsons’ and sci-fi
The Simpsons creator Matt Groening created this animated series with David X. Cohen, who’s also written for The Simpsons for decades. Set in the year 3000, It applies the irreverence of The Simpsons to science-fiction concepts like space travel, time travel, aliens, robots, mutants and more.
The characters are unmistakably Groening. They’re not yellow, but they have The Simpsons’ overbite. 10 seasons of Futurama are streaming on Hulu,...

"A Fish Called Selma" is a fun season 7 episode of "The Simpsons," notable for being Troy McClure's (Phil Hartman) most prominent episode in the show, and for being one of the few episodes in the series where the writers seemed to want us to care about Selma, Marge's grouchy, unpleasant sister. Much like with Sideshow Bob before him or Fat Tony afterward, here Selma falls in love with Troy McClure, only for the relationship to tragically fall apart by the end of the episode.
In terms of the episode's impact on pop culture, however, it's the "Planet of the Apes" musical number scene that's most effectively stood the test of the time. A lot of millennials might not remember Falco's one-hit wonder "Rock Me Amadeus," but they definitely remember the "Dr. Zaius" parody version this episode pulled off.

Growing up, I had nothing but disdain for Fox. I had no idea what Fox had done to deserve it, I just knew Fox = bad. That was all thanks to "The Simpsons," which took every opportunity it could to belittle and mock its network. From Homer Simpson investing in NewsCorp only for Lisa to tell him "Dad, that's Fox," prompting Homer to frantically utter "Undo, undo!" to the overzealous Fox censor at the beginning of "Treehouse of Horror VIII" who's stabbed to death by the very TV rating he's bestowed on the episode, "The Simpsons" taught me that Fox was a joke.
But how did the show get away with consistently lambasting its own TV network? It was all down to executive producer James L. Brooks' and a little white lie. Brooks was such a fan of "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening that he insisted on a clause in the...

Matt Groening's and David X. Cohen's animated sci-fi comedy series debuted just in time for the end of the millennium — on March 28, 1999. It ran for four seasons before its cancelation by Fox in 2003. That was meant to be the last word on "Futurama." Farewell, friend.
After five years of wound-licking and brainstorming, "Futurama" returned in 2008 with four feature length, straight-to-video movies, each one constructed like a four-part mega-episode. Those movies were meant to be the final hurrah for "Futurama." It was a good run, compadre. Vaya con Dios.
But, wouldn't you know it, Comedy Central saw some potential in resurrecting a recognizable cult property and began airing new seasons of "Futurama" in 2011. The show was granted three additional full seasons on Comedy Central before being once again canning the show and finally letting it go in 2013. It was a nice 14 years of life. Good night, sweet "Futurama." And...

Photo: ‘Disenchantment: Season 3’/Netflix All Style, Little Substance The Netflix original series ‘Disenchantment’ returned for a third season over the weekend, offering another batch of ten, 30-minute episodes. From the creators of Matt Groening and Josh Weinstein, the Netflix animated, action-adventure comedy first premiered in 2018 to a (somewhat) positive reception—Season 1 holds a “62% Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes; the series returned for Season 2 in 2019 to a warmer reception. The show’s so-so success is pretty surprising, considering the series is helmed by Groening and features a genuinely funny and talented cast, including series’ regulars like Abbi Jacobson, Eric Andre, Nat Faxon (Elfo), and John Dimaggio. Dimaggio is an especially talented comedic voice actor, having voiced popular animated characters such as Bender from the ‘Futurama’ series, Jake the Dog on ‘Adventure Time,’ as well as iconic video game characters like Marcus Fenix from Xbox’s ‘Gears of War.’ Related article:...

Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s lawyer and star of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference, has drawn a lot of unfavorable comparisons as he attempts to help Trump overturn Joe Biden’s decisive election victory.
One of the crowd-favorite comparisons has been to Lionel Hutz, the morally-bankrupt lawyer on “The Simpsons” who never made a lawsuit he didn’t like. But according to former “Simpsons” writer Bill Oakley, those comparisons are unfair…. to Mr. Hutz.
“I am dubious of any comparison between Rudy Giuliani and Lionel Hutz because although they are both inept and unscrupulous, Mr. Hutz is essentially a good-hearted soul who doesn’t actively work to harm people or the nation,” Oakley wrote on his Twitter account late Tuesday.

The trailer for Season 2 of Netflix’s “Disenchantment” is here and it turns out Elfo (Nat Faxon) might not be dead after all. Or at least he won’t be if Princess Bean (Abbi Jacobson) and Luci (Eric Andre) can get to hell to save him. Even though he’s currently in heaven.
You know what, watch the video above and allow them explain the master plan to save Elfo and Dreamland.

Along the way, the oddball trio encountered ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools.

Disenchantment, Simpsons creator Matt Groening’s new animated fantasy parody for Netflix, uses the same art style that’s been the cartoonist’s trademark his entire career. Sweet, hapless Elfo (Nat Faxon) doesn’t look too far removed from Lisa and Maggie’s beloved Happy Little Elves; an obnoxious prince gets transformed into a swine form that could pass for Simpsons Movie scene-stealer Spider-Pig. But if the figures and architecture seem familiar — the castle of Dreamland, where rebellious princess Bean (Abbi Jacobson) lives, is reminiscent of Futurama‘s Planet Express...

Matt Groening’s new series, “Disenchantment,” seeks to do for fantasy what “The Simpsons” did for family sitcoms — generate laughs by pushing a genre to its limits. As Groening’s biggest hit vamped off of TV’s traditional families by depicting a father who wasn’t just clueless but a boor, so does “Disenchantment” feature a princess who’s not just a sprightly rebel, as in other fantasy stories, but outright devious, fueled by booze and encouraged by a demon. The show’s use of fairy-tale convention generates the best laughs, but the serialized storyline and the baggy running time (the pilot is 35 minutes) keep it from soaring.
These complaints are new for Groening; “The Simpsons” is rarely slack and reboots at the end of each episode. “Disenchantment” has lots of story to get through, centered on Bean (Abbi Jacobson of “Broad City”), a princess in the kingdom of Dreamland...

Five years after “Futurama” bid farewell to the TV world, audiences now have tangible proof of Matt Groening’s newest series.
Netflix revealed its first official look at “Disenchantment,” the latest animated effort from Groening and “Futurama” Ep Josh Weinstein.
These images, which Groening teased Tuesday, give a fuller picture of the “Disenchantment” realm of Dreamland, a medieval kingdom inhabited by the raucous princess Bean. Together with a pair of companions — an elf friend named Elfo and demon companion Luci — the three of them embark on a number of Dreamland misadventures, bringing them in contact with beings and entities of all sorts.
“Disenchantment” is the first Groening series to be produced directly for a streaming platform, following his previous success as a co-creator of “The Simpsons” and “Futurama.” At Netflix, it will join a healthy stable alongside established vet “BoJack Horseman,” newcomer favorite “Big Mouth,” and the nearly 100 hours of...

After gestating for almost two years, Matt Groening’s upcoming Netflix animated series Disenchantment is set to premiere this year but we have yet to catch a glimpse of the characters. Well, the wait is over because the show’s official Twitter account launched today with the first look at the characters…kind of.
The tweet (see below) included portions of full-sized images of the character, teasing us with the caption, “A princess, an elf, and a demon walk into a bar…The new series from The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, coming soon.” It doesn’t really give us much, but it is certainly a fun start.
Disenchantment comes from Groening and will include 20 episodes airing over two seasons of 10 episodes each. The animated comedy will flow in the same vein of other series with adult-oriented humor — much like Netflix’s Big Mouth, BoJack Horseman, and F Is For Family.

Grampa Simpson, Homer’s Brain, and Milhouse all appear in the excised scenes, which revolve around, you guessed it, figuring out who shot Mr. Burns. (Spoiler alert: It was Maggie!) “That’s right,” Grampa Simpsons says at the beginning. “We all gotta stick together if we’re going to have any hope of bringing that awful Homer to justice.” Homer finds himself in the woods hours later and complains, “When I agreed to this plan, I didn’t know there’d be so much running.”
